It probably *should* be a kernel internal flag, but it seems to work as
a mount option too.

By coincidence I've just been looking at a bug report showing that
i_version support is getting accidentally turned off on XFS whenever
userspace does a read-write remount.

Is there someplace in the xfs mount code where it should be throwing out
SB_I_VERSION?

Ideally there'd be entirely different fields for mount options and
internal feature flags.  But I don't know, maybe SB_I_VERSION is the
only flag we have like this.
